While Elves and Dwarves have stories that've been cultivated into valueless caricatures over time by mainstream media (not to say they are always this way and not to say they can't tell their own elemental stories) Tieflings are still pretty new and have a lot of their meaning still boiled up within them. Unlike Firbolgs, Dragonborn, Gnomes, Goliaths, Kobolds, and so on, Tieflings come pre-packaged with a story that jacks directly into the mainstream conciousness as the outsider. And unlike Aasimar, who tap into their own elemental ideas, the Tiefling has a codified aesthetic now.</p></blockquote><p></p>
